9-7-10 PNC Park

I was back at PNC Park after a weekend trip to Washington State, and I was out of the swing of things, as I got zero balls during the Pirates portion of batting practice.

Luckily, as bullpen catcher Heberto Andrade walked off the field,he hit a fly ball into the bleachers, which I roamed to my right and caught to put me on the board.

At 5:30, I went to center field to look for easter eggs, but there were none. Upon entering the section however, an unidentified Braves player hit a home run into the seats. I had seen the ball land from about eighty feet away as I was on my way into the center field sections, but couldn’t find the ball. Luckily, one of the ushers directed me to the spot, and I found the ball laying in the front row in a little puddle of water.
